Alexandra I of Winia

Alexandra I or Alexandra I Feodorovna Romanova (10 October 1920 – 2 August 1945), known in the Winian Orthodox Church as Saint Alexandra the Servant of God, was the second ruler of the Romanova Dynasty, ruling from 1 September 1939 until her death in 2 August 1945, having died during battle in the Second World War while fighting in Japan. During her reign, Winia embarked on a series of reforms including the introduction of civil liberties, literacy programs, state representation, and initiatives to modernize the empire's infrastructure. This helped to transition the Empire into the modern era, and earned her the support of many of her supporters. By 28 March 1942, her disease had worsened but she headed off with the rest of the Empire`s soldiers, leaving her mother Yekaterina Feodorovna (now the Dowager Empress) in charge of ruling the Empire. In the years leading up to her death, Alexandra was characterized as a stern but popular leader, who would rather sacrifice her own life than have her own soldiers murdered and slaughtered by the enemy. More recent assessments have characterized her as a well-intentioned, hard-working leader, who despite her recklessness and stubbornness in battle was a wonderful leader.

As Empress, Alexandra gave support to the economic and political reforms promoted by her prime ministers, Victoria Kirkland and Gwendolyn Wright. She supported modernization based on foreign loans and close ties with France, and the Dagmarian Empire. She was criticised for her reckless nature and disdain towards marriage, as she needed an heir. She resisted marriage which frustrated her ministers, but went down as one of the most effective rulers of the early 19th-century due to having modernized the Empire, making it more capable of working effectively. Her rise to power as the political-savvy heir apparent to her father (Alice II) alarmed the British Empire who saw her as a threat.
